TELEPHONE NOTE BACK AND PENCIL HOLDER.

Application filed February 28, 1927. Serial No. 171,666.

My invention relates to devices for attachment to a telephone to enablethe user to have placed before himcertain information of a desirablekind, and the invention has for its object to provide a ready andconvenient pencil holder and card or memo pad holder, which can bemanufactured at a nominal expense, will be light in weight, neat inappearance, and capable of ready attachment to the telephone instrument.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of my invention in use.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of my invention per se.

By referring now particularly to the drawing it will be noted that myinvention comprises a wire coiled at 1 to constitute a holder orreceiver for a pencil, the ex 20 treme end of the coil being reduced, asat 2, to prevent the pencil slipping out. The

wire at the other end of the coil is extended upwardly, as at 3, andcurved into a circular are at l, this circular arc portion being flat-.

tened for a purpose presently understood.

Following the circular arc portion 4 the wire is bent upwardly anddownwardly and back upon itself a. at 5 and 6 to provide V-shapedmembers between which a card or pad 7 may be clipped.

In practice the article will be made preferably of nickeled wire so asnot to detract from the appearance of the telephone instrument to whichit is attached.

In order to install the article on the telephone instrument it is onlynecessary to loosen the mouth piece of transmitter and slip the curvedmember 4 over the threaded portion of the same and again tighten up themouth piece, thus clamping the device between the shoulder of-the mouthpiece and the transmitter case and holding it securely in position.

The advantages of my .invention lie in the factthat should the user beout of his oflice and a telephone call comes in the clerk answering thecall can jot a notation regarding the call. see Figure 1, and place thenote in the clip 56 so that when the telephone subrriber returns he willat once see that a call has come in and will know from whom the callcame and whether or not he should respond as indicated.

Another use which would be very convenient-for the rack would be toprovide a printed card with telephone numbers which are calledfrequently. These could be left stationary and used in connection withthe notes that would be placed in the clip. At any time for theconvenience of the party he could add new numbers or a new card.

Other advantages of the invention will be clear to those skilled intheart.

hat I claim is: I

1. An attachment fortelephones comprisin a wire formed into a coil toconstitute a pencil receiver, a flat curved port-ion adapted to besecured between the transmitter ease and the mouth piece of a telephone,and a clip for holding cards, pads and the like. 7

2. An attachment for telephones comprising; a wire having; a portioncoiled to constitute a pencil receiver, another portion bent into adouble V-shapeto constitute a card and pad holding clip, and a portionintermediate the first two mentioned portions flattened and bent to fitaround the threaded part of the mouth piece and be by it clamped to thetelephone transmitter case.
